Prague - Czech Republic

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Nicknames for Prague have included "the mother of cities" (Praga mater urbium, or "Praha matka měst" in Czech), "city of a hundred spires", or Stověžatá Praha in Czech and "the golden city" or Zlaté město in Czech.

Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. For many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

Today, the city proper is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million.

Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, making the city one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, receiving more than 4.1 million international visitors annually, as of 2009. ( source Wikipedia )

@Medysonball You should try Prague at night. Almost no tourists - well, definitely less than during day, and the city looks even more beautiful. If you visit Prague again, dont miss the opportunity to see it. Especially around Christmas...it is simply magical.

Guys, it's Karel IV, not Karel V (Carl V)

[astralsleeper100]

big mistake as johny0cz said!. name of our river is VLTAVA..... mouldau is it in german language, but Moldava is bullshitt and nonsence...!

[johny0cz]

the river is vltava, not moldava

[Natalek0906]

super!

[starle100]

There is no Moldava river in Czech Republic! It's Vltava (Moldau in German). Spelling mistake it's not wiew it's view.

And it's not Karl V Bridge, it's Charles Bridge. It's construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV. Pretty embarrassing! Pls fix it!
